Chapter 140 The Fall of the Muyun Group
Xu Ming was overjoyed when she learned that Song Yilin was going to drive Mu Yunzi away, and she sent Song Yilin several designer handbags.
Xu Ming had always wanted to kick Mu Yunzi out, but Old Xu always stopped her. For the sake of their marital relationship, Xu Ming didn't dare to break ties with Old Xu.
However, since it was Song Yilin who did this, Old Master Xu didn't dare to have any objections to his new daughter-in-law.
Besides, Xu Qingmin is already the one in charge of the Xu Group. Although Xu Qingmin is the CEO and Old Master Xu is the chairman, a chairman who has no real power and fewer shares than Xu Qingmin has little say in the group.
Mu Yunzi and her sister didn't understand this point. They naively thought that if they had a son and could persuade Old Master Xu to let Xu Yijing inherit the company, then the Xu Group could be inherited by someone else.
In the Xu Group, not only can Old Master Xu not replace Xu Qingmin, but if Xu Qingmin is willing, he can waive the title of Chairman.
He can also hang himself.
Looking at all those bags, Song Yilin said, "Mr. Xu, I don't usually use bags."
Song Yilin has never cared much about whether her bags are designer brands, whether her clothes are designer brands, or whether she fits into the social circle of wealthy women.
Xu Ming told the maid to put the bag in Song Yilin's dressing room: "Your status is different now. You can't be so shabby. You represent the Xu Group now. You can't be so stingy."
Song Yilin really wanted to say that whether someone respects you or not doesn't depend on brand names.
Like Xu Ming, few of the wealthy women in her class looked up to her. Those in a lower class admired her and wanted to obtain resources from her, but they didn't necessarily respect her.
Xu Ming didn't have any resources, and Xu Qingmin was even less likely to give her any. So gradually, fewer and fewer people fawned over Xu Ming.
However, Song Yilin wouldn't point it out to Xu Ming. Their relationship wasn't exactly good, and even if she did, Xu Ming might not listen. In fact, Xu Ming might even think that Song Yilin looked down on her.
Xu Ming had just put down her bag and left when Mu Yunzi came in.
Seeing Song Yilin's many bags, he looked enlightened: "No wonder, you kicked me out to curry favor with Xu Ming? Using me as a pledge of loyalty?"
Looking at the wall of bags, Song Yilin realized that from her perspective, they did look quite similar.
In Mu Yunzi's view, Xu Ming had never been able to kick her out, but Song Yilin, as the new daughter-in-law, could.
Xu Ming disliked Song Yilin, and in order to win her mother-in-law's favor, she sacrificed Mu Yunzi.
Song Yilin smiled and said, "Whether you believe it or not, it's really not true. The reason we don't let you stay in the Xu family is because your mission is complete. Xu Yijing has grown up, and you can go and pursue your own happiness."
Mu Yunzi's smile turned mad: "Song Yilin, put away your righteous indignation. Don't I know you? You're more scheming than anyone else. You gained Xu Ming's approval and also got rid of the women around Xu Qingmin. I have to admire you. Your methods are truly brilliant, killing two birds with one stone."
Song Yilin was surprised by Mu Yunzi's thinking, but according to Mu Yunzi's logic, it actually made sense.
“Mu Yunzi, I have never taken you seriously, so how could I think you are a woman by Xu Qingmin’s side? I let you go because of Xu Yijing. You did not educate a child properly.”
"So you'll treat Xu Yijing well after I leave? You'll probably spoil him even more so that he can't compete with your daughter for the Xu Group."
Song Yilin couldn't help but admire Mu Yunzi's imagination; everything seemed to be logically consistent within her.
"You've always stayed in the Xu family, and Xu Yijing has been spoiled by you. He has no chance to enter the Xu Group. Only when you're gone will Xu Yijing have the opportunity to enter the Xu Group. Do you think you or I are more capable if we were to bring a child into the company to learn the business?"
Mu Yunzi raised her arrogant head: "Song Yilin, you think you can compare to me? I am the second young lady of Muyun Group. What are you? Do you even deserve to be compared to me?"
Song Yilin knew that Mu Yunzi was thinking this way. With this in mind, Song Yilin was even more determined not to let Mu Yunzi stay by Xu Yijing's side, nor could she let Mu Yunzi stay by her side.
Mu Yunzi is like a ticking time bomb, always ready to do something foolish at any moment.
"Before you turned 17, you were indeed a pampered young lady, but did you actually work at your family company for even a single day? Did you participate in management? Can you understand financial statements? Do you understand human resources management? How many connections do you have in the industry?"
Mu Yunzi's eyes showed even more disdain: "Understanding reports, participating in management, and personnel management are things that a working-class person like you needs to know. Xu Yijing is Old Master Xu's son. If he were to inherit the Xu Group, he would only need to hire people to do those things for him. He is the son and he is the legal heir. Who would dare to object?"
Song Yilin felt like she and Mu Yunzi were like a scholar encountering a soldier—there was no way to reason with each other.
In ancient times, the throne was not inherited solely by bloodline. Now, what makes her think that Xu Yijing, being Old Master Xu's son, can inherit it?
Song Yilin shook her head: "Mu Yunzi, you should find a job. After working for a while, you won't be so naive. How did your family's company go bankrupt? It's been more than ten years, and you still don't understand?"
When Mu Yunzi's family company was mentioned, Mu Yunzi's eyes were filled with resentment: "Song Yilin, what right do you have to mention our Mu Yun Group? Our group was harmed by villains. Before it collapsed, it was a glorious group that supported tens of thousands of employees. It is not a company that you can use as an example."
Song Yilin felt a terrible headache. She shouldn't have said so much to Mu Yunzi; it would have been better to just kick her out. Now, she actually hated her.
"The reason why Muyun Group collapsed was that the people in charge lacked foresight and expanded recklessly regardless of the debt ratio. What was originally only 1 billion in assets had 10 billion in liabilities."
Moreover, Muyun Group doesn't have much real business. Once a problem arises in any area, it will directly burst the bubble. Once the bubble bursts, other capital will acquire your original assets of only one billion at the lowest price. Your parents couldn't withstand that much pressure, and they were acquired for only three hundred million.
Mu Yunzi clenched her hands tightly, her body trembling, and her voice came out through clenched teeth: "Song Yilin, you not only insulted our Muyun Group, but also our parents. My parents were forced to their deaths by the capital you mentioned. They set a trap for my parents from the very beginning. What do you know, you bitch?"
When a person's understanding is this limited, there's no hope for them.
If you are not greedy and not vigilant, how can others set up a trap?
Besides, no one set up the Muyun Group when it collapsed; it was just that some people took advantage of the situation.
